Kansas House Speaker Mike ONeal is under fire after asking Republican House members to pray for President Barack Obamas death. ONeal made the request via an email he forwarded to GOP colleagues in the House. In an email sent in December, ONeal asked his fellow Republicans to pray Psalm 109, which contains the following lines:Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

Think Progress reports that ONeal forwarded the prayer with his own message:At last I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!

(19,326 posts)Is this the same Gawd that admonishes followers to "render unto Ceasar that which
is Ceasar's" and to "pray for" those in authority that they would rule wisely and
compassionately?
If so, I don't recognize "Him".

(14,120 posts)If President Obama dies, then they have to deal with Vice President Biden. I really don't think they would like that.
